I've just taken the plunge into the world of tubes and WOW!

so thrilled!

Everything was bought here on audiogon with all of your help.

I'm also using DH Labs and Cardas quadlink power cables.

Isoblocks under all the equipment, will save to upgrade with proper feet etc.

I can't stop listening to music!

any advice is appreciated. You all got me here!

oh yeah, I am on an extreme budget.

I'm in search of some tubes.
Have been recommended EH KT 90's for the primalunas which I can find.
but- for the Tektron I am looking for Brimar ST shape grey glass 6J5's which I am finding very difficult to locate.
Any other thoughts or good contacts.
I listen to mostly jazz, funky soul, vocals and classical (also some pop/rock from time to time)
I'm also watching ebay with no luck so far.

thanks!!!!!

HA. yup I spent much more than I had planned but I am very pleased. once you hear the difference it's just kinda hard to go back.
BUT now...I really am on a very serious budget. that said I am very curious how different tubes sound...hmmm...

An "extreme budget" is an NAD C315BEE for $299.

I'd say you're on a bigger budget than most, and you put together a very nice system that's well above the entry level. Love the PrimaLuna stuff...it should serve you well for many years to come.
